“After buying a home in the crush of last spring’s housing frenzy, we found it to be rife with odd items that need repair. You’d think we would have noticed a sliding door that previous owners locked with a wood insert, non-closing doors, non-working doorbells, non-existent insulation, and much more. Dave came each day prepared to work without stopping, had great suggestions, and was easy to work with. He was timely, well-equipped, and had a real depth of repair and building knowledge. Dave is a keeper, and I’ll be using him again”.

Our projects were fixing our old shed, including the floor, wall panels and replacing and adding trim. Another project was fixing our deck by replacing some rotted boards and adding top trim on the rail for a nicer look which was a great suggestion by Dave. He also helped me figure out a way to build a cedar gate between our house and shed without breaking the bank. I highly recommend Dave!“

Dave the Fixer came out right away to investigate. He provided me with a detailed quote for the job a few days later. Dave and his team did the work on the scheduled date. The job was done professionally and quickly at a fair price. The site cleanup after the job was excellent. I’m very satisfied with this experience and highly recommend Dave the Fixer for your roofing needs.”

“I can’t say enougabout Dave the Fixer LLC. We suffered damage to our house, garage and shed due to a fallen tree. Dave and his associates cleaned up some of the resultant mess, built a base for our new shed, replaced a broken window in our garage and dug a trench for electric power to the shed.
They did this for a fair price and completed the work on time. In addition, they always communicated with us and were very pleasant and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend them and am lining up additional work for them to do at my house over the next year.
Thank you Dave!”

The pool fence looks great and gives us peace of mind, and the sliding glass door was installed perfectly. Their workmanship and customer service exceeded our expectations.
